Hi Mags. Just found your post. I know exactly who Murdo Mckenzie is as he is a relative. He was the then future laird of Dundonnell. The child Kenneth was recognised in his will and Isabella received  a bequest  of £1000 for her and the child's  support. Murdo was the son of the laird at the time Dr Kenneth  McKenzie formerly of "Bundanon" in the Shoalhaven NSW  Australia. He died in 1878 and Murdo became laird. Regards David

Hello Lucy,

Isabella (Bella) Ross was my 2nd Great Aunt. I have a transcript of a letter from her father stating she was working for the Mackenzies. Where do you fit into the family?
